This is down slightly from last week’s pre-taped show from London that drew 2.29 million viewers. WWE came in at No. 3 for the night on cable among the Top 50 shows, up from last week’s No. 4 spot. The NBA Playoffs won the night on cable (8.296 million).

The rating is the lowest for Smackdown so far in 2018 and the smallest audience for the show since last October. The show has struggled to maintain viewers during the month of April and May after posting stronger numbers before and after WrestleMania.
